The Goosenecks

Just outside Mexican Hat, Utah, the San Juan river carves out some of the most remarkable canyons in all of the West. Rising high above the river these canyons meander slowly towards Lake Powell. Over the course of millions of years the river has created this series of Gooseneck bends that contain the river. River travel take hours just to achieve a mile or so. At times boat passengers get out and hike across the smaller goosenecks and meet the boat downstream.

Nowhere is the rock cutting properties of water more evident than this park. Watch your step.
